vancouver71 Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Good afternoon Guys, Happy new Year! With the rain here in Vancouver (what a surprise!), I decided to start my new kit than I got, Chevy 39 Coupe. I lowered a little bit the back suspension, open trunk and hinges, body has been primed with PlastiKote Sandable primer. I will use One Coat lacquer from Testors,but I do not know which color yet! any idea? the base coat, I am hesitating between gold,silver or even copper! interior I do not know yet as well. here are some pics thank you for watching. Mickael
Belugawrx Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Likin' the visor and rear lights (are those stock?) Can't say I'm a fan of the lowrider wheels, but will reserve judgement It is your build So far so good Cheers
horsepower Posted January 3, 2015 Posted January 3, 2015 Want a very pretty, different, color? Use the bright blue one step lacquer for a base, and Tamiya clear red for the color, and top coat with wet coat clear, you'll have a truly different shade of candy purple, try it on a spoon first if you want to see it before you commit. I did basically the same thing with blue metal flecks spray can base and metal cast red anodizing paint for the color, but you might not want that coarse of metallic for your base since it looks like a metalflake base with a candy purple color, and their blue is pretty dark makes for a dark purple that comes to life in the light.
vancouver71 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 Small udpate for the interior: I applied leather on seats and parcel shelf. thank you
vancouver71 Posted January 5, 2015 Author Posted January 5, 2015 yes the visor and rear lights are stock. Likin' the visor and rear lights (are those stock?) Can't say I'm a fan of the lowrider wheels, but will reserve judgement It is your build So far so good Cheers
